NOTE:
• Under the following conditions, the rain
sensor may not be able to sense rain or
snow correctly, and thus the rain-sensing
wiper function may not work or may work
incorrectly. (Use a position other than
"AUTO" under these conditions.)
– Rain or snow does not hit the rain sen-
sor area of the windshield, or the snow

is not of a type that is able to be
detected by the sensor.
– The rain sensor area is covered with
mud, ice or other similar substance.
You should remove any foreign sub-
stance.
– There were already raindrops on the
windshield before starting rain-sensing
wiper operation. You should remove
the raindrops by operating the wipers
under manual control.
– The rain sensor is hotter than 80°C
(176°F) in the sun or lower than –10°C
(14°F) in freezing weather. (The wip-
ers do not operate under this condi-
tion.)
– The windshield is coated with a water-
repellent substance, which causes
raindrops to run down quickly. This will
give a clearer view and the wipers
may seem to operate too frequently. In
this case, decrease the system's sen-
sitivity.
– The sensor area is covered with a
sticker.
– The wiper blades are damaged. You
should replace them.
• The following conditions may indicate
problems with the rain-sensing wiper
system. If your system exhibits any of
the
following
conditions,
inspected
by
an

– Rainfall/snowfall rate varies but the
wiping interval remains constant.
– Rain/snow is falling but the wipers do
